about the author
Lorraine, a self-proclaimed Jersey Girl, fell in love with the idea of poetry while poring over Bruce Springsteen's song lyrics a lifetime ago. She was drawn to the way the words fell through her thoughts, as if each line was resonating with her spirit. Lorraine is a founding member of No River Twice, an improvisational poetry troupe and serves on the board of Volta: Center for Writing Arts. She is the author of five books of poetry and her work has appeared in a wide variety of familiar publications and collections, as well as a small graffiti poster in New Zealand.
"Lorraine makes you more aware of your own life. Only a master poet can do this and Lorraine succeeds at it. "
~Elvis Alves, Blackfish
"Lins is the new docent of poetry – she has the talent to make her experience sound new."
~ Hal Sirowitz, Poet Laureate of Queens, NY
"These poems filled me with nostalgia, sometimes painful—but painful in a lovely way. If I were to cite my favorites here, the list would match the Table of Contents.”
~ Robin Stratton, Of Zen and Men
